Covid-19 Policy
GOVERNMENT MANDATES:
YMAA Boston adults classes are part of Reopening Phase 3, which began July 6th. Reopening is contingent upon faithful social distancing and a new standard of cleaning and disinfecting – we strongly encourage EVERYONE to remain vigilant, clean, and cautious. Failure to do so could extend the phases, or even result in reverting to a previous “phase” of the reopening plan.
OUTDOOR CLASSES
Whenever possible we will try to have classes outside. Fallon Field is our regular location for Saturday kids class. Other locations will be announced if/when they are confirmed. Students and instructors should wear masks. We may need to establish a reservation system to keep the groups to the mandated size. Government rules specify maximum group size of 10 (including instructor).

REOPENING GUIDELINES
In-studio policies:
- If you or anyone you have been in close contact with has exhibited Covid-19 symptoms please do not come to class until you can confirm that you are not infected.
- If you feel sick at all please do not come in to the studio.
- All instructors and students are required to wear face masks.
- Students are required to wash hands when arriving and at various points during class as needed.
- In-studio classes will also be run on Zoom so that students who cannot come to come to class in person can still attend and parents can still watch their kids in class.
- Reservations for in-person classes are required.
- Temperature checks may be required for admission to the studio.
- Students will need to stay in preset, socially distant training zones for the duration of the class.
- Students will need to wait to be dismissed in order to maintain social distance.
- We will maintain mandated limits on the number of people inside the studio at one time.
- Please arrive only a few minutes before class and be able to leave quickly after class so that we have time to thoroughly clean the studio.
- Please arrive in uniform with as few personal belongings as possible.
- Only one student will be allowed to go the the bathroom/basement at a time. As much as possible we ask that students use the bathroom at home before class to minimize the number of people who need to use the bathroom.
- We will be taking attendance. In the event a student or instructor tests positive for covid-19 we may be required to send attendance lists and contact info to the city of Boston for contact tracing and follow ups.
- Floors, surfaces, equipment and bathrooms will be thoroughly cleaned after each class.
- We will be running a HEPA air filter at all times.
- Parents will not be permitted to stay during classes but folding chairs are available if parents would like to sit outside to watch through the window.
- Students who do not comply with the guidelines listed above will not be permitted to attend class.
- Other changes may be necessary; plans may change as we get closer to reopening. Please check back to this list regularly.
